"Gold Standard played at our festival-themed garden party this weekend and they literally made the night. Absolutely amazing. They had everybody up dancing, interacted with the crowd and were so incredibly talented! My only regret is that we didn't have them for longer! Could not recommend them more highly. All our guests were asking where we had found them! It is scary booking a band as it is a huge expense but I can tell you with Gold Standard you will have no regrets!"
"Gold Standard is definitely the luxury wedding band! Very professional and the singers are phenomenal in getting your guests up and moving and they also interfaced with the guests during their performance. Every person was up dancing. Gold Standard will be "icing on the cake" for your wedding."
"Just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing our wedding at Great Thythe Barn in Tetbury. The band were incredible from start to finish - our first dance was brilliant and your energy and audience participation (sorry about the terrible, drunken singing!) made it such a great end to the day. In the run up to the wedding you were professional and easy to deal with, which made it completely stress-free for us. We have had nothing but compliments on the band from everyone we have spoken to. Would not hesitate to book you again for future events."
"Brilliant! Gold Standard had the dance floor packed the entire night - incredibly talented, so much fun and brought the energy from start to finish. Thanks for making our night so incredible!!"
"Gold Standard did such an incredible job at our wedding and I had so many people tell me that you were the best band ever! They also made the whole process super easy and low-stress which was an added bonus. I booked them after I saw them play at a friend's wedding and I thought they were superb. And then they did it again at my wedding. I can't recommend them enough."
"All of our guests were raving about the music. They were so accommodating to our song requests leading up to the big day and Chris communicated promptly every time I emailed or rang him."
"Gold Standard played at my 60th birthday party. They were amazing. They are very friendly people with a great and varied repertoire that meant guests of all ages were on the dance floor. They made my night brilliant and I would definitely recommend!"
